Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Pontuação: 20.0Sugestão: إجابتك تبدأ بـ“Yes”، لكن عبارة “I was half one” غير واضحة وغير طبيعية بالإنجليزية، لذلك لا توضح إن كان لديك دراجة أم لا. أجب مباشرة باستخدام “I did”، ثم أضف تفصيلاً بسيطاً مثل عمرك أو كيف كنت تستخدم الدراجة.
Exemplo: Yes, I did. I had a small bike as a child, and I enjoyed riding it around my neighborhood.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Pontuação: 30.0Sugestão: أجبت عن السؤال، لكن ترتيب الكلمات والقواعد غير واضحين، مثل “many children, they have” و“he have a must”. استخدم جملة مباشرة مثل “Bikes are popular among children”، ثم اذكر سبباً أو مثالاً محدداً. تجنّب التكرار، واستخدم روابط بسيطة مثل “because” أو “for example”.
Exemplo: Yes, bikes are popular among children in Saudi Arabia. Many children have one because cycling is fun and gives them a chance to play outdoors. For example, they might ride around their neighborhood.
× Yeah, many children, they have a bike.
✓ Yeah, many children have a bike.
The sentence has two subjects for one clause: many children and they. Use one subject only. You can say many children have a bike.
× I think if you children in Saudi, he have a must to buy a bike and ride it, ride it everywhere and have fun.
✓ I think children in Saudi Arabia must buy a bike, ride it everywhere, and have fun.
The phrase if you children is not a complete or grammatically formed clause. The sentence is clearer and complete when children in Saudi Arabia is used as the subject of the main clause.
× I think if you children in Saudi, he have a must to buy a bike and ride it, ride it everywhere and have fun.
✓ I think that if you are a child in Saudi Arabia, you must buy a bike, ride it everywhere, and have fun.
The sentence shifts from you to he, so the pronouns do not agree in reference. Keep the same pronoun throughout; for example, use you in both parts.
× I think if you children in Saudi, he have a must to buy a bike and ride it, ride it everywhere and have fun.
✓ I think children in Saudi Arabia must buy a bike, ride it everywhere, and have fun.
Must is a modal verb and is followed directly by the base form of a verb, as in must buy. Do not say have a must to buy.
× I think if you children in Saudi, he have a must to buy a bike and ride it, ride it everywhere and have fun.
✓ I think that if a child is in Saudi Arabia, he has to buy a bike, ride it everywhere, and have fun.
With the third-person singular subject he, use has rather than have. In this correction, has to expresses obligation.
